Live gig reviews

Obituary, Exodus, Prong – London Electric Ballroom 25/10/16

Unfortunately owing to a biker down on the M40 & idiots insisting on rubbernecking I missed King Parrot completely, but am reliably informed they put on a great show & impressed many this night. Next up on the bill were… Continue Reading →

Trap Them, Okkultokrati, Venom Prison, Employed to Serve – London Boston Music Room 17/10/16

Trap Them and Okkultokrati may seem like odd bed fellows on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you can see the dirty punk residing at both of their roots. Strange as it may seem, the two make excellent… Continue Reading →

Yob, Black Cobra, Necro Deathmort – London Scala 13/10/16

28 dates down and just three more to go; tonight is the 29th date of Yob and Black Cobra’s European tour and it sees them filling up the Scala to near capacity. Necro Deathmort open the show to a sparse… Continue Reading →

The Blackwood Gathering – Fell Foot Wood, Cumbria 7-8/10/16

It’s fair to say that The Blackwood Gathering is not your average UK metal festival. Forget mainstream metal for the masses, dodgy burger vans and over priced watered down beer. This is how a music festival should be…. The Blackwood… Continue Reading →

Stream Of Passion, Pythia – London Underworld 13/10/16

And here it is, the final curtain. The news that Stream Of Passion were calling it a day came as a big and not very pleasant surprise. They want to move on and explore other musical endeavours apparently and lead… Continue Reading →

SubRosa, Darkher, smallman, Sumer – London The Underworld 11/10/16

It’s day 19 of SubRosa’s 22 date European tour and tonight the Salt Lake City quintet are hitting up Camden’s Underworld. SÜMER open the show and the local lads provide the perfect display of prog rock meets post metal. Three… Continue Reading →

ProgPower Europe, 30th September, 1st and 2nd October, JC Sjiwa Club, Baarlo, Netherlands

Sunday 2nd October Smallman came from Bulgaria with the promise of mysterious music. So there we were at 1.30pm on Sunday afternoon, witnessing a very deep, dark and mystical sound with bagpipes and at other times a flute and a… Continue Reading →

ProgPower Europe, 30th September, 1st and 2nd October, JC Sjiwa Club, Baarlo, Netherlands

Once again I’ll try and describe some highlights of this five star festival, which Rene Janssen and his team put on for our annual entertainment and delight. The plan changed this year as Mrs D and I decided that instead… Continue Reading →

Electric Citizen, Salem’s Pot – London Boston Music Room 5/10/16

Having spent the last five nights supporting Orange Goblin, Electric Citizen make their debut UK headline slot in London. Boston Music Room plays host to their final UK date and the sixth in the entirety of their European tour and,… Continue Reading →

Shining, Intronaut, Obsidian Kingdom – Paard van Troje, The Hague, 28/10/16

Erik, Celine and I cycled to the club – it is the Netherlands, after all, and cycling is what people do. There was a sizeable queue outside. We established that most of the crowd were not interested in or had… Continue Reading →

Beehoover, The Earls of Mars – London The Black Heart 24/9/16

The last of the 10-date Beehoover ‘Primitive Powers’ tour comes to an end in London, with the avantgardistic German duo bringing their psyched out noise to The Black Heart. Unfortunately, support act, Noisepicker, have had to pull out of this… Continue Reading →

Warhorns Festival – The Venue Selby 16-17/9/16 Day 2

Day 2 Day two of Warhorns dawned and my merry little band were still trying to figure out what the hell Whispered had been all about, but arrived with a pleasant number of others in time to catch first band… Continue Reading →
